GKB secures luxury car export harbour

Taichung, Taiwan

As a harbour specialising in exporting luxury car brands, Grindrod Port in Mozambique has to make sure each high value car is 100% safe; this is the most crucial task for the port management company. Nevertheless, the port recognised that it needed to address some critical issues and the authorities decided to take a more technologically advanced approach. As a result, the Grindrod Harbor company decided to upgrade its surveillance system with a solution that would provide them with professional recording data protection and a motion detection alarm platform.

It was later reported that an attempted robbery had taken place late at night after the port had installed the GKB Diplomat IP solution. When a computer hacker tried to intrude on the camera’s live view recording and an accomplice stood outside waiting for signals to open the gate, the security guard noticed some viewing interruptions on screen and remarked that such a situation had never happened before. Without hesitation, the guard made the quick decision to inform headquarters and gave the order to keep all gates securely closed. Fortunately, all the BMWs in the warehouse were kept safe and sound and survived the incident without even a scratch. When accessing recorded footage after this attempted robbery or other incidents, all the data is kept in a Linux NVR. According to the company, after this incident highlighted the value of the system and the staff began to show greater appreciation toward GKB’s products and service solutions.

The recorded footage can be maintained within the Linux NVR because at the beginning of the GKB product design stage, they built in the ability of being able to view and record separately as individual features. This means that the original recording is kept safe from intrusion by hackers.  The additional bonus is the 'IVAST' technology. This is a motion detection alarm platform with a live view window that automatically pops-out when events are being detected. The company has installed cameras along its borders equipped with the 'IVAST' functionality which helps to monitor the important areas at scheduled times on a daily basis to provide an increased protection level 24/7.
